  • Abstract
    A fundamental problem in understanding complex dynamical systems is how synchronization and coordination emerge through interactions of oscillators. This paper presents an orbital stability analysis for a class of coupled harmonic oscillators. Based on the Floquet theory and averaging principle, conditions on the coupling and damping parameters are obtained for local convergence to an orbit with prescribed pattern of oscillations. Insights into the stabilization mechanisms are gained through digraph theory.
